I've used CCleaner Pro for many years but just never used the Duplicate Finder until a few days ago.
After running it found over 8,000 duplicate files and almost 100% or shown to be carbonite restore files. I just contacted Carbonite and they looked at the computer and see that I only did one restore in August and the agent didn't have a clue, or desire, to explain why CCleaner has found so many duplicates. Some files have over 50 duplicates themselves.
Can anyone possibly explain what is happening, and if I'm really loosing hard drive space? I am also going to run a check with another duplicate finding software I have and see if it finds the same files.
